Legendary comedian Todd Glass summed him up with “Paco is a funny fuck. He’s in a good league with comedians like: Andy Kindler, Eddie Pepitone, James Adomian. People like that. So Funny”, while political satirist Will Durst (“Possibly the best political comic in the country” – NY Times) remarked “Paco is one of the finest and funniest comedians working today” and the legendary Michael Pritchard (Nationally acclaimed speaker, comedian) calls him “collaborative, creative to the genius level, and a trigger on stage.
